Well.... I"m sorry if I didn't search well enough but I am having the problem that the editor itself puts in this absolute positioning - undesirable to serve different browser sizes.

Is this an option I can turn off so I can have relative positioning?

We want to use this at an office with a newbie but are holding off buying until we'v e got some of these issues resolved. Thank you so muc h.

Sorry I forgot to mention that it uses absolute positioning when inserting images and I don't think that's going to work because we're using old files and updating them - not creating from scratch. Can't wait to hear how to turn this off. Thank you.

Laura,

I moved your messages out of the archives so they could get more people looking at them. That will help solve the problem.

Are you using the most recent version of the HTML Editor or are you using the Visual Site Designer?

Placing objects such as images in position using a visual method is done with absolute positioning. If you are using the HTML Editor, you can use the code window and use relative positioning or just write the code to position everything in the flow of the code.

Are you trying to edit an existing site, or are you creating a new site?

Please do specify what editor you are using.

I have the same issue, using latest CoffeeCup HTML Editor 2008, when inserting image, I get:

<p><img style="Z-INDEX: 100; POSITION: absolute" height="242" alt="" src="myimage.jpg" width="200" border="0"></p>

Why is the editor forcing: style="Z-INDEX: 100; POSITION: absolute ??? Any way of disabling this feature?

Not sure but I think this thread is related to this issue... check it out and see if it helps ya out.

Jacek,

Are you using the visual editor tab in the HTML Editor? If so, that is the way visual editors work. If you drag an object to a specific location on your design, the only way for the visual design program to make sure it is placed where you placed it is to use absolute positioning.

If you are using the HTML tab, you can position things the way you want them using CSS, and putting the code for the object in the correct location to use the natural flow of the code.

I don't know how the z-index works with visual editors, but I would expect them to use a starting point, and if you put something on top of that, give it a higher z-index.
